p.1 #1 · Lists of Focus Ring Stiffness in Zeiss dslr Lenses (ZA/ZE/ZF/ZF.2)
As I said in some post, I was thinking of assemble ordered lists over the Zeiss dslr lenses' focus ring stiffness to see if they correspond to model or are randomized.
Hence I would appreciate if as many as possible would submit their list (even if you only own 2 lenses). Please also specify mount.
All models currently available (in different mounts):
2.8/15 - 3.5/18 - 2.8/21 - 2/25 - 2.8/25 - 2/28 - 1.4/35 - 2/35 - 1.4/50 - 2/50 - 1.4/85 - 2/100 - 2/135

It was not so easy to decide which focus ring is smoother.
Until 135/2 all lenses are very smooth.
But I have to say that all lenses are very usable to me, even the 25/2 is not uncomfortable to use.
Easiest first:
85/1.4 ZE
21/2.8 ZF
50/2 ZF
50/1.4 ZE
15/2.8 ZE
135/2 ZE
100/2 ZE
28/2 ZE
35/1.4 ZE
35/2 ZE
25/2 ZE

All my Zeiss lenses are rather similar when it comes to Focus Ring Stiffness. The ZE 21 is a little bit more easy. The others are about the same.
Zeiss ZE Distagon T* 21 f/2,8
Zeiss ZE Distagon T* 35f/1,4
Zeiss ZE Distagon T* 35 f/2
Zeiss ZE Planar T* 50 f/1,4
Zeiss ZE Macro-Planar T* 50 f/2
Zeiss ZE Planar T* 85 f/1,4
Zeiss ZE Macro-Planar T* 100 f/2
